length to wheel base ratio
I seem to recall a thread about 8 years ago concerning the best ratio for handling and I can not find it. Does anyone know the best length to wheel base ratio? Thanks!

You first make it as complicated as you want, but then you tend to lean towards the practical. You can say that the the CG has no height, but the center of mass does. You can say that the front(steer) tires should be loaded close to their max capacity, so that you can enjoy maximum camber and toe-in authority,...such that both will be able to enhance the vehicle's directional stability(which is ONE component of "handling", in motorhomes).
My way of "keeping it simple" is to buy one with the longest wheelbase and shortest rear overhang (in the size of DP motorhome that you prefer). then, you will find out that loading the front tires to the maximum allowed,....is not a problem.
